About Georgia Digest
Georgia Digest is a Japanese-language information media outlet covering news, tourism, life and culture in and about Georgia. It provides a wide range of information for local residents, travellers and Japanese people interested in Georgia.
We value primary experiences and personal perspectives. We aim to convey what the country has to offer, not just through statistics and generalisations, but through actually living, visiting and feeling Georgia.
Therefore, we welcome column contributions from external writers and contributors. We invite you to share your experiences and thoughts in our media.
About the content of the columns being sought.
Georgia Digest is looking for columns on the following topics
- Experiences of life and everyday events in Georgia.
- Travelogues, city walks, episodes of cultural experiences
- Stories about business, work and learning
- Attractions and discoveries in Georgia from a personal perspective.
